two powers are such as TO require negotia-
tons; that there should be authority, not to
issue letters of marque ana rsprisal, but to
select commission to consider the subject,
and II possible TO reach some basis OF IN
derstanding between Great Britain, Canada
and the United States IN regard to the fish
cries.
England has always been rufian, a COW
ard and bully among the nations of the
earth; insolent to the weak, tyrannical to the
feeble, and cEinging and ObsequiOus to the
strong. Her history for centuries has been
q record OF crime against the human race.
La Ireland in Scotland, in Wales, against
the Roman Catholics, against the beers OF
South Africa against the HindOOs and the
Chinese, wherever there has been a
feeble, a weak and helpless nation Great
Britain has been there for the purpose Of
rapacity and plumber ana conquest. Eng
land bears no good viii to this country. The
memory Of two defeats rankles, dare say,
in the brasta of EnglishmeD. When say
country mean that the ruling class
are unfriendly to this country. Her course
has been always one of wrong, insolence
and Outrages. England cheated the south
with false hopes of recognition, ana injured
the north BY violations OF neutrality Her
course in the treaty of Washington was act
uated solely by a fear OF the consequences
to that country In the next war IN which size
might be engaged if she permitted the prin-
clple which she established to stand uude-
MED. believe that there is no special re-
ciprOcity Of good will on the part OF Amer
lea towards England. There are few Amer
leans who do not recognize the fact that the
course of England towards this country has
been one Of insOlence and suspicion and
outrage from the beginning of our national
existence. If I read the transaction Alright
there Is no purpose on the part of Great
Britain TO secure a peaceful solution, q Gpe-
clhc Interpretation Of the doubtful prOVis-
ions of the treaty of 1918, but rather a de-
hberate intention 30 to fOment the Irrita-
ton and discomfort between Canada and
the United States as to prevent the pac-
ihcation in the immediate future which
would be inevitable If both people
were left to the operation Of the natural
Ia Rs of trade and society. see very plain
ly what the purpose of Great Britain has
1t impossible for free, friendly, reciprocal
relations political and otherWise) to exist
between Canada and the United States.
Therefore, / was glad to hear OF the inter
probation placed on the proposed legislation
by the senator from Maine Mr.. Erys) that
80 far as he Is concerned il is to be a DECLARE
ton to Great Britain recognizing her
agency and her power In the natter that
she viii persist further at her peril.
LONDON. January, 25.-Hhe following com
ments are made by the English papers on
the speech of Mr.. Ingalls, and others on the
Edmunds fisheries bill. The Post says: 1--WE
ness against England does not represent the
feeling either of the American senate or the
people. On the other hand, it would be
foolish to shut our eyes to the importance
of the question involved"
The Chronicle thinks the fact that Ingalls,
splentic Outburst neither surprised nor
shocked the more respectable senators, is a
far more serious matter than the dispute it
self, and hopes that the Washington author
tiles will early disolaim any community Of
feeling with Mr.. Ingalls,.
The Daily NeIUS says: 'IO-day's kilograms
from New York, Montreal and Otta va are
Of very reassuring character. Nobody
here regards the violent speeches Of Sena-
tors Ingalls,, Hale and Frye seriously. Even
the dignitied American senators are not
above playing to the gallery. 1t is hoped no
steps will be taken to exasperate the quarrel
aud that the good sense of Canada will in
sist on policy of peace"
The Standard says: president Cleveland
viii probably have the good sense to veto
the measure, or agree to it merely in form
as a prelude to amicable negotiations. We
protest against the idea Of either England
or Canada, being ooorced into yielding iOt
or title OF their rights to snch empty threats.
We have none Of The ultsuOr motives as
signed by Messrs. Ingalls,, Frye and HOar.
The dispute however, ought not to be be-
.ond the power of Diplomacy"
